  • With Mekhi Becton out, Tyler Steen took first-team reps at right guard during practice. 
  • DT Byron Young still has yet to suit up for the Eagles. He was on the injury report last week as well. 
  • CB Eli Ricks was also on Week 7's injury report with the same groin injury and missed Sunday's win over the Giants. 
  • Rookie wideout Ainias Smith is practicing for the third straight week since injuring his ankle in the preseason. Eagles must activate Smith this week or he will go back on IR.

  • The Eagles signed wide receiver Parris Campbell back to the practice squad and tackle Jack Driscoll to the active roster.
